looking for a self leveling floor compound

18 years ago

Somewhere I've seen a suggestion for a pourable self leveling compound but can't find it now that I need it. I have a small floor area with the slightest bit of dip to it in just one 3 foot square section. Anyone suggest the name of a good product? I thought a pourable one would be easy. I'll be putting a Trafficmaster Allure over it.

Mapei, Ardex, just two manufacturers. You have to use the primer made for each product or forget about it.

Pourable is generally easier to place as it flows and levels with very little effort.

Arex K-15 is my favorite. Make sure to follow the directions and get poured out and the bubbles popped within a few minutes then leave it alone for the best results. You should be able to find it at a flooring professionals supply house.

Thanks to both of you- I will go with the Ardex. The tips on using companion primers and application (bubbles, etc) were a good heads-up. Appreciate it!
